You are watching a video.
A woman shows her “before/after”.
Her skin seems to have transformed in just a few weeks.
And you, standing in front of your mirror, you doubt.
“Why is it slower for me?”
This question seems innocent.
However, it can change your rhythm.
1) Each skin has its own tempo
We like quick proof.
The visible results.
Reassuring comparisons.
But the tissue does not work at the same speed from one person to another.
- different biological ages
- different stimulation history
- different sensitivity levels
- different hormonal rhythm
Comparing two skins is like comparing two stories.
If you feel like you're making slow progress, also read: Why are your results taking so long to appear ?
2) Comparison changes your behavior
When you see someone progressing faster:
- you were intensifying
- You shorten the breaks
- you are changing devices
- you add stimulation
Without realizing it, you lose your rhythm.
And that's often where progress slows down.
The body does not like haste motivated by external factors.
3) The invisible trap: losing confidence in your reading
The comparison creates doubt.
Doubt creates change.
The modification sometimes disrupts an ongoing stability.
Perhaps you had crossed a threshold.
But the comparison pushed you to force it.
On this subject, see: Why speeding things up often slows down your results .
A device does not accelerate a natural rhythm
A device can support your progress.
It should not become a response to a comparison.
It does not replace biological patience.
Conclusion
Your skin is not in competition.
It evolves according to its history.
Comparing yourself to others can throw you off course.
Observing brings you back to it.
To learn how to structure your progress without depending on the pace of others:
The comparison, however, disturbs her.
